Sales Stages
Meeting and getting to know you
The first step is meeting with you. Our broker will visit your property to conduct an in-depth assessment and gain a complete understanding of its unique features. During this visit, we'll also discuss your goals, expectations and ideal timeline, gather the necessary documentation, and define the best strategy for moving forward with the sale.
Property valuation
Our valuation is based on a rigorous analysis of both the local and regional market. We consider current trends, review the latest sales completed by our Group in the region, and compare against similar properties currently on the market. This analysis enables us to determine an accurate market value and build a well-supported valuation.
Sales strategy and pricing
We present the different values retained — including market value, income value, and owner value — so that you have a complete vision of the your property’s positioning. Together, we determine the strategy that best fits your goals, choose the most appropriate listing agreement (exclusive or non-exclusive) and outline the next steps in the sales process.
Marketing
Once we have our strategy in place, we take action. We arrange for a professional photographer and videographer to come and shoot your property and implement a targeted marketing plan to maximize its visibility. We keep you regularly informed of the offers received, support prospective buyers with financing, and ensure that only serious, qualified buyers are presented to you.
Closing the sale
We present all the offers received and help you evaluate them. We also advise you in selecting a notary and work with you to determine the most appropriate sale structure, whether that’s a direct sale or a forward sale. Once all terms are agreed upon, we proceed with the signing, ensuring that the transaction is completed under the best possible conditions.
